The gq diff rebuild

[97_gq_lwb]

Well today i decided i had had enough of my noisy rear diff and pulled it out.
To my surprise it is not lsd luckily i have another one here that is.

Not an lsd in the rear? Thats odd as i thought all GQ's came with a rear lsd.

X2 i thought they were all lsd also, dunno about those with factory locker though

[97_gq_lwb]

Same here has the lsd sticker on the housing as well but opened it up and sure enough no lsd i thought wtf.

[nissannewby]

yes this is strange maybe the previous owner had an air locker in it and it was removed prior to selling.

[97_gq_lwb]

It was the cleanest i have ever seen underneath and used as a shopping trolley i don't think it had ever been of the bitumen.
But not anymore lol.
No signs of any air or electric lines.
Do the lsd's from the rear fit the front .

[growler2058]

Wouldn't av thought so

I think if read on here somewhere that the rear LSD out of Navara or pathfinder will fit the front of q patrol........not sure on exact details.....



Tap, crackle, pop

Yeah i have been looking into that currently looking at one for $50 at that price it would be worth trying.

Heres some great videos on setting up backlash etc to give anyone considering a rebuild the basics and tools involved.

And did you say ya had an lsd centre to install?

[97_gq_lwb]

Yeah just have to swap the gears over the lsd i had was a 41 and i have 46 ratios.
The one i removed from my gq was a 4 pinion open center but is like it is locked up can't get it to budge might be why it was so noisy.

[growler2058]

Do you need to match with the front diff ratio??

[growler2058]

:1087::1087:Hang on have re read your previous post youare swapping cogs

[97_gq_lwb]

Yeah i think it might be a good idea lol.
Apparently it puts a bit less strain on things.
